Sun Telematics currently has a technology platform catering to Corporate transportation, FMCG, Pharma, enabling transparency and cost optimization. Regarding the new products to be launched by the company, DRIVE caters to supply chain management in the transport sector allowing all operators to optimize, cross utilize supply and meet any external demands. NATIONAL PERMIT (NP) works with the unorganized logistic sector. It provides mobile app and web-based solutions at the lowest cost for the logistic operators who are currently not able to optimize cost due to the absence of technology.

Another great feature built in NP is a crowdsourcing platform which helps truck drivers connect and exchange information like good places for food and rest, filling gas and weighing scale shops. They can source help from their community even during breakdowns.
